Answer:

y = - 3x + 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that slope is a measure of the rate of change of a linear function.

Express the function in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

here m = - 3, thus

y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (5, 2) into the partial function

2 = - 15 + c ⇒ c = 2 + 15 = 17

y = - 3x + 17 ← is the linear function

Ruby red paint costs $0.50 per square inch. A ball is painted ruby red and costs $100.00 to paint. What is the diameter of the b

8090 [49]

The diameter can be obtained by the formula A = pi*r^2

First, multiply 0.50 * 100 to obtain the area of the ball, then simplify and solve for the radius. Doubling the radius would yield the diameter. This is shown below:

Area of the ball = 0.50 * 100 = 50 in^2
<span>A = pi*r^2
</span>50 = (3.14)*r^2
r = 3.99 = approx. 4
diameter = 2r
Diameter = 8 inches.

Among the choices, the correct answer is C. 8.0 in.
